As TET approaches many Vietnamese students in Australia have turned their thoughts to the homeland and are raising money for victims of Agent Orange and the needy.
Members of the Melbourne Overseas Vietnamese Student Association (MOVSA) have collected about VND24 million by selling second-hand clothes, footwear, used computer discs and bags at markets in Melbourne at the weekends.
MOVSA President Nguyen Minh Hoang said students want to share joy and warmness with the disadvantaged at home during the upcoming Lunar New Year festival (Tet). All collections will be used to purchase 45 gifts for poor people in Quang Tri province.
